People are living longer and working longer. By the early 2020s, people aged between 50 and 64 will comprise almost a third of the workforce.

With skills shortages and changing labour markets, it makes sense to use all available skills and experience, and to encourage older workers to stay within your business.

Business Link has designed a toolkit to help you to review your practices for the benefit of your business and your workers. These benefits could include a reduction in recruitment and training costs, and increased productivity.

What is the Employer toolkit?
The Employer toolkit contains what you need to know to talk to your staff about working longer and when to retire.

Two-minute toolkit
Knowing that business people don’t have much time to spare, Business Link has produced a two-minute toolkit. In four easy steps it gives a quick guide to what you need to know about employing older workers and working past State Pension age.
